I tried to install Vim with GUI on Ubuntu 22.04 but failed. I get the following errors when I run sudo apt install vim-gtk3 or sudo apt install vim-athena. It seems both packages need to be rebuilt with updated pre-prerequisites.

$ sudo apt install vim-gtk3

Did you try running `sudo apt update` before trying to install these packages?

Version `2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.2` is currently in the `jammy-proposed` repository. Do not enable -proposed sources unless you already know how to solve little problems like this. -proposed is for testing only, daily use is strongly discouraged. Fix your sources.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
